Song lyrics?
Wildwood Weed





(Jim Stafford)





The wildwood flower grew wild on the farm,


And we never knowed what it was called.


Some said it was a flower and some said it was weed,


I never gave it much thought ......


One day I was out there talking to my brother,


Reached down for a weed to chew on,


Things got fuzzy and things got blurry,


And then everything was gone!


Didn't know what happened,


But I knew it beat the hell out of sniffin' burlap.





I come to and my brother was there,


And he said, What's wrong with your eyes?


I said, I don't know, I was chewing on a weed.


He said, Let me give it a try.


We spent the rest of that day and most of that night,


Trying to find my brother, Bill.


Caught up with him, 'bout six o'clock the next morning,


Naked, swinging on the wind mill!


He said he flew up there.


I had to fly up there and bring him down,


He was about half crazy .....





The very next day we picked a bunch of them weeds,


And put 'em in the sun to dry.


Then we mashed 'em up and chopped 'em up,


And put 'em in the corncob pipe.


Smokin' that wildwood flower got to be a habit,


We didn't see no harm.


We thought it was kind of handy,


Take a trip and never leave the farm!





All good things gotta come to an end,


And it's the same with the wildwood weed.


One day this feller from Washington came by,


And he spied and turned white as a sheet.


Then they dug and they burned,


And they burned and they dug,


And they killed all our cute little weeds.


Then they drove away,


We just smiled and waved ..........


Sittin' there on that sack of seeds!





Y'all come back now, hear?





there it is !!!
Reply:The name of this song is 'The Wildwood Flower'


Now 'The Wildwood Flower' is an old country classic


It gained a whole new popularity


The song isn't any more popular


But the flower is doin' real good





The wildwood flower grew wild on the farm


And we never knowed what it was called


Some said it was a flower and some said it was weed


I didn't gave it much thought...


One day I was out there talking to my brother


Reached down for a weed to chew on


Things got fuzzy and things got blurry


And then everything was gone


I Didn't know what happened


But I knew it beat the hell out of sniffin' burlap





I come to and my brother was there


And he said, 'What's wrong with your eyes?'


I said, 'I don't know, I was chewing on a weed'


He said, 'Let me give it a try'


We spent the rest of that day and most of that night


Trying to find my brother, Bill


Caught up with him 'bout six o'clock the next mornin'


Naked, swinging on the windmill


He said he flew up there


I had to fly up and get him down


He was about half crazy





The very next day we picked a bunch of them weeds


And put 'em in the sun to dry


Then we mashed 'em up and we cleaned 'em all


And put 'em in the corncob pipe


Smokin' them wildwood flowers got to be a habit


We didn't see no harm


We thought it was kind of handy


Take a trip and never leave the farm





A big ol' puff on the wildwood weed


Next thing you know


We's just wandering behind the little animals


All good things gotta come to an end


And it's the same with the wildwood weed





One day this feller from Washington come by


And he spied us and he turned white as a sheet


And he dug and he burned


And he burned and he dug


And he killed all our cute little weeds


Then he drove away


We just smiled and waved


Sittin' there on that sack of seeds





Y'all come back now, ya hear
